Ascertia is pleased to announce that it has become a member of the Cloud Signature Consortium. This new industry consortium is an international group of industry and academic experts committed to building a new standard for cloud-based digital signatures, while making it simple for business and governments to comply with rigorous EU regulations like eIDAS.

Ascertia’s ADSS SAM Appliance is a complete eIDAS compliant remote signing solution which includes an embedded Utimaco’s Cryptoserver CP5 HSM. Utimaco is the first company globally to receive the eIDAS CC EAL4+ certification for its HSM, which will now enable Ascertia to complete CC EAL4+ certification for the complete ADSS SAM Appliance.

Another bank purchases Ascertia validation software and displaces the incumbent software giant. ADSS OCSP Server software, with its real-time whitelist checking capabilities continues to be a popular choice for banks, financial and high regulated organisations to ensure effective certificate monitoring.
